Trainer Bryan Guy called on an old and new association to mastermind an upset win with Lochlee at Ipswich on Wednesday.
Lochlee is owned and bred by long-time Guy family client Jim Forsyth who races his horses under the Amalgamated Milk Services syndicate banner.
Forsyth has a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to the dairy industry but he is just as well known in racing where he has had dozens of winners.
He originally had horses 50 years ago with Guy's father, the Rosehill training legend Ray Guy.
"When dad died Jim stuck with me and we have had a lot of success with so many horses I can't count them. Regular, Motivate and Bareena are just a couple," Guy said.
Lochlee ($9) was ridden a heady race by apprentice Luke Tarrant to win the Schweppes Plate. It was a virtual repeat of last week's metropolitan mid-week win for Tarrant and Guy with Pearly Court at the Gold Coast.
"Last week Luke's manager rang up and said he had only one other ride for the meeting but they saw Pearly Court, who was originally an emergency, had got a start," Guy said.
"He rode Pearly Court a treat to win so I thought why not use him again on Lochlee."
Lochlee is by top sire Jet Spur out of Forysth's mare Bareena who won at stakes level in Brisbane.
Meanwhile, apprentice Sairyn Fawke hopes to get more rides in the metropolitan area after leading most of the way to win on Faiconi ($15) in the Optus Plate.
Trainer Barry Baldwin elected to use Fawke because he could claim his full 3kg, meaning Faiconi carried just 51kg.
Fawke has ridden 29 winners this season and is eighth on the state jockeys' premiership but his city chances have been limited.
Another apprentice Rikki Jamieson continued to show the benefit of her recent Melbourne experience to win on Tuned In ($5) in the City of Ipswich Handicap.
